What's the binary distribution license?

Open oddhack opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

We are distributing some pre-built Windows GLEW binaries as part of https://github.com/KhronosGroup/KTX-Software/tree/master/other_lib/win , and I'm trying to determine the licensing of everything in that repo to bring it into compliance with REUSE. What license would you like binaries built from GLEW provided under - just the 3-clause modified BSD license, or the full set of licenses from the repo README, or ???

Hello again!

A bit hard for me to say, I'm "just" the maintainer. I read the licensing wording as meaning "any of the three", but I do not know for sure the intent.

Individual portions appear to be under one of the licenses, different for each portion, but with no option to use anything different for that portion. So the overall license for a binary distribution would have to be the union of all three. (Insert obligatory IANAL disclaimer here.)
